Premier League side Chelsea have finally decided to part ways with Jorginho amidst a steady growing interest from Serie A giants Juventus – as per The Sun.
Sarri is desperate to reunite with Jorginho in Turin and the Juventus boss has been tracking the midfielder for months now. And finally, as per the Sun, Lampard is willing to part ways with the Italian if someone can pay £63million for his service.
The report claims: “JORGINHO would jump at the chance of a reunion at Juventus with his former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
“But the Blues midfielder, valued at £63million, will only move to the Serie A giants if they miss out on their main target, Barcelona’s Brazilian star Arthur, claim Italian newspaper Tutto Sport.”
Will Juventus finally drop their interest in Jorginho?
Recently, the midfielder’s representatives had revealed that despite popular belief none of the interested parties has yet gotten in touch with them over a transfer.
“I read that, but I never had contact with them. Neither Sarri nor Fabio Paratici called me to have information on Jorginho,” Joao Santos said, as per the Express.
“As of today, I know absolutely nothing about this situation. The lad is very happy in London, where he is proving his worth and still has three years left on his contract.
“In fact, in July there’s the possibility we can start talks to add a fourth and extend his contract with Chelsea. I don’t know what Juve’s transfer strategy is, but these are our plans for the future.”
Despite all the positive talks from the player’s agent and co, t looks like Lampard has made up his mind to cash in on the 28-year-old but at the same time, he’s set a massive price tag on his head.
Some experts believe Juventus might try and pull the plug on this deal since £63million will be too steep a price for them to pay but we think, Sarri will look to push Miralem Pjnaic in a swap deal for Juventus.
It’s still unclear if Lampard will accept this arrangement or not but receiving a defensive midfielder in exchange of one might not be a really bad deal for Chelsea.
